What you oughta know
Files is a third-party file management app available on Windows.
Many of the features you see in File Explorer today, such as tabs, shipped first in Files.

Files is a third-party file explorer that often has features before Microsoft’s own File Explorer on Windows 11.
The third-party app just received an update to version 3.5 that adds more rounded corners and several new features.
The bump to version 3.5 is not massive, but it does bring some welcome changes to the app.
The content area of Files is now separated from the status bar, toolbar, and preview pane.

With that split comes the addition of some more rounded corners.
Previously, only the top-left corner of the content area was rounded.
The change is subtle, but it makes it easier to distinguish between different portions of the app.

you’re able to also hide the toolbar within the app starting with v3.5.
The app’s developer outlines all of the changes onGitHub, and I have also listed them below.

This third-party file management app is gorgeous.

It also packs in many features that are not available in Microsoft’s official File Explorer on Windows 11.
